We’ve seen screenshots of Google Voice in a mobile web format, but a recent comment pointed us to GVDialer, a new third-party app that lets you plug into the service previously known as Grand Central on your mobile. The main features include:
- One number – Present your Google number as your Caller ID on outgoing mobile calls. Keep your mobile number private & get people used to your Google number.
- Simple calling – Dial directly from your phone’s contacts, speed dial, call log or keypad, and GVdialer will automatically get you connected using Google Voice. When GVdialer is installed, just dial and GVdialer takes care of the rest.
- Cost saving – Start saving on your mobile calling costs. Set your Google Number as a favorite number on your mobile plan, and stop paying for local and national long distance calls. Take advantage of Google’s low rates for international calls.
- Customize GVdialer – Set GVdialer to call using Google Voice on specific types of calls. All your other calls will go directly via your mobile provider. You can choose to use GVdialer on International calls, domestic calls, or on all of your calls. You can even set GVdialer to ask you whether to use Google Voice on each & every call.
- Privacy – Keep your mobile number hidden. GVdialer works even if you block your caller ID on your cell phone.
- Easy inbox access – Connect to your Google Voice web account at a click of a button Quick Voice Mail & Goog-411 access – get instant access to your voice mail-& Goog-411 service.
GVDialer is available on BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Android, Symbian and iPhone for $9.99, which you’ll likely recoup in call savings pretty quickly. Keep in mind this isn’t an official Google product, and we’ll likely be seeing an official, free solution coming from Google soon enough. If you’re interested, you can find more info here.
